You can buy the Zenith "Silver Sensor" UHF only indoor
antenna at Above-All electronics, on the north side of
Bloor St a block and a half or so west of Bathurst. just
past Honest-Ed's. Active Surplus on the south side of
Queen between University and Spadina, just west of Beverly,
(located upstairs) has the Terk HDTV i which is a clone
of the Zenith but also has built in rabbit-ears for VHF(2-13).
I have one myself. with a switchable amplifier in it
but the amplifier really doesn't make too much difference.
The Active surplus one is identical but no amplifier.
It doesn't work very well for channel 5 but works well
for all UHF channels. From what I have read on the internet,
one of these may be the best you can get for indoor reception.
What you will get depends on your surroundings but this
is MUCH better than a wire loop or a "bowtie" which actually
is shaped like a bowtie and comes with many TV sets. Channel
25 (SRC) is quite watchable at my place near Greenwood
and Dundas, south of East-York and lower. Both antennas
are new in the box and cost under $20.00 before tax.
